Codeshare cooperation between JAL and Vistara

Demand for air travel between India and Japan is increasing year-on-year and it is important to forge partnerships with various airlines in order to cater to this demand. We think that amongst the Indian airlines, Vistara is offering a premium service to its customers and we are also approaching this particular market offering the best service to our customers. Thus, the partnership with Vistara is the best combination to cater to the premium market between Japan and India. In fiscal year 2018, JAL and Vistara have decided to launch codeshare cooperation on Vistara’s domestic routes to and from Delhi and on Japan Airlines’ operating route between Tokyo and Delhi as well as on Japanese domestic routes. The Open Sky agreement between India and Japan gives new airlines new networks. For JAL, though India is a very attractive market, presently we do not have any plans to add new destinations to our network.
